Time's Person of the Year is....
NEW YORK - Time magazine on Wednesday named Russian President Vladimir Putin its 2007 "Person of the Year."
The nod went to the Russian leader because of Putin's "extraordinary feat of leadership in taking a country that was in chaos and bringing it stability," said Richard Stengel, Time's managing editor. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071219/...person_of_year |

It seems like odd timing to me. I mean, yeah, he just won re-election, but why this year? Russia hasn't exactly been chaotic lately, and Putin has been its leader for many years.

Surprising considering the way that they treat their prisoners. Then again, Adolf Hitler won the award before.
